It's in a drawer right now while I work on another project. <br /><br />Next project, I'm doing more in the planning stages. I've got a pin board. I'm planning out scenes on notecards tacked up there so I can make notes on the back & move stuff around. It's been working well this time around. <br /><br />P.S. I love that Orson Scott Card book. So good. Check out Stephen Kings, On Writing (if you haven't already) I really learned a lot from that one too.Olivia Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215218666225556567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5295722545133823809.post-33010233932701954442010-01-09T23:20:29.173-05:002010-01-09T23:20:29.173-05:00That is so exciting!

Thats gotta be such a great great feeling.<br /><br />You're coming out to Utah!?!? Hooorah! I'm totally interested in a lunch when you come out. I'm really hoping to make it out to storymakers but it's a bit pricer than the other things I've done so I'm not sure yet if I can go. Either way, we need to go to lunch when you come out!Cranberryfrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384164423414892482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5295722545133823809.post-89368362764363180622010-01-05T20:34:17.308-05:002010-01-05T20:34:17.308-05:00I always try to write what I feel in the moment.I always try to write what I feel in the moment.V.

Hopefully they will be intriguing and all fit together.

I've already got a head start because as I've been revising my first one, I've been jotting down notes on the second one. Who knows, maybe I will be in the pre-writing stage for a year too.Susan R.

So I put scenes down like dumping a bag of beads onto a tray (not just onto the table, because I'm careful like that), and then the "work" part comes by finding the thread to string them on. See? <br />Also, your title makes me laugh. And I'm singing along...Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239442909091675067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5295722545133823809.post-6068105683804282822010-01-05T10:02:37.023-05:002010-01-05T10:02:37.023-05:00Yeah!!!
